Well it happened last night, I became an automotive adult (a man in my
case).
I suppose you could say it was the circumcision of my pocket book, or perhaps
it was
obvious envy of my peers that drove the point home. I woke this morning and ran
outside in my underware (boxers of course) to be sure it wasn't a dream. There
it
was, a '67 big Healey. I did it and I'm not sorry - yet.
As you might expect, I need some parts for it. I have a complete rear
end for
the car. When I say complete, I mean someone cut the donor car across the
middle of
the floor and I have the back half. Most of the mechanical bits are up for
sale. I
have an extra convertible frame and I think I have two complete bumper sets. I
am
willing to trade. I am in particular need of a front shroud. I have no idea
what a
fair price for these things are. I'd be happy with about 25% of the catalog
prices
for an item. Unless the particular catalog item is obviously overpriced in
which case
I'd take less.

P.S. I challenge anybody to spoil this day!
